"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The
Eagle has landed." - Greeting spoken by United States
astronaut Neil A. Armstrong at 6:00 P.M. EST from the moon as Apollo
11 Eagle Lunar Module landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
As Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface at 10:56 PM, he said,
"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
On the second mission to the Moon [Apollo 12] on October 27, 1969,
Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad stepped off the Lunar Module and
stated "Whoopee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but
that's a long one for me!"
